THE P.O.R. (PRACTICE OF RONALDO)

The flat desk surface was entirely clear ahead of me. Perfect ground for testing form. I lined up a stray green plastic cap forty centimeters away, right between two stacked books. That was the goal. I took three paces back. Balanced my weight on the left foot, adjusted my hip angle, and struck a red wooden bead with my right instep. A sharp crack echoed. The bead rocketed forward in a clean line and clipped the cap straight through the center gap. Target cleared on the first strike. Standard set.
